Hey I can totaly relate to you! All my friends are skinnier than i am!! well..i mean their may be like 2 of my friends that are the same or larger than I am but it still really upsets me when me and my friends go clothes shopping and they wear extra smalls and i wear larges! it's really embarassing even though i no they're my friends no matter what i look like. But anyways, i am soo trying to lose weight! i started at the beginning of august weighing 205 pounds and now its the second week in september and i weigh 187 pounds...so i've lost 18 pounds in 6 weeks. I really want to learn how to lose weight at a faster rate! I am a size 14!! i want to get down to 12 by christmas (which is also my b-day) do u think that is probable? email me at hptictac89@yahoo.com
